Abstract

Background: Rib fractures, resulting from traumatic events, frequently induce severe pain, which can precipitate impaired pulmonary function and subsequent complications. The imperative for efficacious analgesia in the emergency department is paramount; however, traditional opioid-centric regimens carry substantial risk profiles. This investigation explores the practicality and therapeutic potential of employing ultrasound-guided Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAPB) as a novel analgesic technique for rib fracture discomfort within the emergency care context of India.
